Most peptides marketed in telehealth are not FDA-approved for the indications they are sold for. Some (like sermorelin) have a longer history; others (like BPC-157) have minimal human safety data. Patients should ask the source pharmacy, the evidence base, and whether the prescription is on or off label.
